What we learned from the Post Adepticon Fury's Finest Interview with Will Shick

 

Right at the end of Adepticon Will Shick had an Interview with the (fantastic) Fury's Finest Podcast. If you have the time go listen to the episode yourself, it's always worth listening to Jesse and Chris and it's also always fantastic to hear Will Shick talk about the game. That should be enough reason right there 😉

With that out of the way let's see what we learned from the interview: 

Adam Warlock: 

As expected he is confirmed to be the second Guardians of the Galaxy leader with his leadership being called "Infinity Watch". With his release there will be updates to the Gems and, just like Thanos, he'll be able to hold two of them. And he's going to get a special Soul Stone that only he can hold. 

Quasar and Moondragon: 

These two will have some synergy with each other (as they should), but not a Husband and Wife mechanic. Shick also talks a lot about how the sculpt of Moondragon came to be and that's a lot of fun to listen too. 

Kang: 

Kang will be a leader for an "existing Affiliation that would make sense for him" so it's mostly likely going to be Cabal. His leadership will be similar to Recalibration Matrix as that's how time is shown in the game already. 

Iron Monger: 

Is confirmed as a Member of the Cabal and the Criminal Syndicate (no big surprises there). 

Tigra: 

Tigra will have a special version of Pounce as she's a cat person. 

Echo: 

Her model has been designed around the time Shadowland Daredevil was designed. Probably explaining why they look so similar in poses. 

Ronin: 

Will be a close combat specialist (who would've thought 😅). 

Spider-Man 2099:

Spider-Man 2099 was originally supposed to come out alongside Miles and Gwen. He's been postponed "a bit". They specifically aimed at him being a very different 5 threat than ASM for the Web Warriors. 

Ultimate Spider-Man: 

Miles 2 probably doesn't have a leadership as Shick talked a lot about them wanting to push ASM leadership. 

Spider-Verse TTC: 

Shick confirmed there's going to be a Spider-Verse TTC in this pack but not what exactly it does. I'm very sure it will allow you to double up on alter-egos in some way. 

Silk: 

Is combining the abilities of some Spiders already in the game (similar to Scarlet Spider probably) 

Spider-Ham: 

It was not planned to ever make another 2 threat but Ham ended up being a candidate for it and they feel they got him right. 

Spider-Noir: 

Unlike Silk he'll bring a very new mechanic where he collects clues and those help you in the game. Not sure what that means exactly. 

Nimrod: 

He'll be very strong with good attacks, defenses and ways to suppress superpowers (maybe a root aura in the style of Loki 1?)

Tolerance is Extinction was set as the next crisis pack before X-Men 97 came out. Bastion is the favorite character of Art Director Josh Colón. 

X-Factor Investigations: 

The new affiliation will immediately start with two leaderships. Multiple Man will have one that reminds of the effects that Spider-Noir will use. The other leadership is most likely on Havoc. 

Clea:

She's been specially called out to get a very big update in May. 

That's it for today.
